GIBBONS ON THE KNIGHTS.

Additional Facts Presented to the Vatican
by the American Cardinal-He Denies
that the Great LaDor Organization
.Countenances Violence as a Means of Sc.
curing Desired Ends.
ROME, March 29-The text of Cardinal
Gibbons report on the Knights of Labor
as published in the Noniteur de Rome,
shows that several additions have been
made 10 the report as originally published.
Referring to the objections that in this
kind OF organization Catholics mix with
Protestants to the peril of their faith, the
Cardinal says:
Among mixed people like ours separation
of religions in civil affairs is not possible To
suppose that the faith of Catholics suffers shows
ignorance of the Catholic workmen of America,
who regard the church as their mother"
1t being objected that the liberty of the
organization exposes Catholics to deadly
influences and associates more dangerous
than even atheists, communists and Anarch-
lists, the Cardinal said it was true, but that
one proof of faith would not try Amarican
Catholics. To such influences they
were exposed every day, and they knew
them we'll and despised them The
leaders of the Knighta of Labor re-
lated how these violent, aggressive eie-
councils or insinuats poison into the prn-
eiples of the association, and also told of
the determination with which they were
repelle1.
Special stress being laid upon the vio-
lence, even to the shedding of blood, which
has characterized several strikes inaugu-
rated by working mems associations, the
Cardinal says:
II have three things to remark: First, strikes
are not the invention of the Knights but uni
versal, perpetual means by which workingmen
protest against what is Must and demand
their rights; second, in such struggle of the
multitudes of the poor against hard OBJ
stinate monopoly, wrath and violence are
often as inevitable as they are regret
table; third, the laws and the principal
authorities of the Knights, so far from
encouraging violence or occasions for vio-
lence, exercise powerful preventive influence,
seeking to keep strikes withSa the limits of le-
Ultimate action. An attentive examination
into the violent struggles between labor and
capital has convinced me of the injustice of at
trbuting violence to the Knights. Their prin-
cipal authorities have proved the fact that it is
as unreasonable to attribute violence to the
knights as to attribute to the church the follies
and crimes of her children, against which she
protests
He recognized that the great question of the
future is not a question of war, commerce or
finance but q social question touching the
amelioration of the condition of the popular
masses, especially working-men. Therefore it
is of sovereign importance that the church be
found always firmly ranged on the side of hui
mainly and justice toward the multitude COM
pc sing the body of the human family. The con-
deEions of the lower classes at present can not
and should not continue.

Fifty years of ever-broadening commerce.
Fifty years of ever-brightening science.
Fifty years of overwhelming empire.
You the mighty, the fortunate,
You the lord territorial,
You the lord manufacturer,
You the hardy, laborious,
Patient children of Albion.
You Canadian. Indian, Austraasian, African,
AL your hearts be in harmony;
All your voices in unison.
Singing hail to the glorious
Golden year of her jubilee.
Are there thunders moaning in the distancef
Are there specters moving in the darkness?
Trust the Lord of light to guide her people
Till the thunders pass, the specters vanish,
And the light is victor, and the darkness dawns
Into the jubilee of the ages.
